Our goal is to create the best possible product, and your thoughts, ideas and suggestions play a major role in helping us identify opportunities to improve.
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We compare from a wide set of major banks, insurers and product issuers.
finder.com.au has access to track details from the product issuers listed on our sites. Although we provide information on the products offered by a wide range of issuers, we don't cover every available product. You should consider whether the products featured on our site are appropriate for your needs and seek independent advice if you have any questions.
Products marked as 'Promoted' or "Advertisement" are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options and find the best option for you.
The identification of a group of products, as 'Top' or 'Best' is a reflection of user preferences based on current website data. On a regular basis, analytics drive the creation of a list of popular products. Where these products are grouped, they appear in no particular order.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labelling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.

Just turned 65, does this have a vast impact of getting a morgage loan
Hi Vicki,
Thanks for reaching out.
Appling for a home loan at this age may prove more difficult but your ability to qualify for a loan will depend on the type of home loan that you’re applying for as well as your income, assets, credit history and any existing debt that you have (e.g. credit cards or personal loans).
Unfortunately many lenders will view you as a high-risk borrower if you’re no longer in the workforce and therefore do not have a steady income source. As a result, you may be charged higher fees or a higher interest rate depending on the individual lender’s policy.
It’s strongly advised that you speak to a mortgage broker regarding your borrowing options to ensure that you apply for the right type of finance for you. For instance, you may want to consider a fixed-rate home loan for greater certainty and security of knowing what your repayments will be.
You can learn more about the risks involved when applying for finance during your retirement years on this page.
All the best,
Belinda
